Anaheim is place which in the
present boom deserves a great deal Of
attention. Long before anyone ex-
pected to see the city of Los Angeles
become place of nearly rs 900 people
long before the country had become
covered with orange groves and vine-
wards; when he would have been
thought wild who should predict that
land in this county would be worth
1900 an acre for orange culture, $4,000
for villa sites, and that business prop
erty in the city would sell for $2500
per foot, a little band of sturdy Ger
mans came here, and out of all the
country selected Anaheim as the scene
of their proposed industries.
There were several elements
which lead to this wise Sc
lection. BY far the largest
area Of good arabic land in our incom-
parable valley lies to the south and
east of Los Angeles city. Anaheim is
very near the geographical center Of
the country lying between this city
and San Juan, and between the Puente
hills and the ocean. The soil in this
central space is unexcelled in South
ern California. 1t is easily worked,
rich and not disposed to become too
dry. Then there lies the Santa Ana
river with its exhaustless and abund-
ant volume of water, which could be
brought in an easily constructed ditch
to the site of the settlement.
In 1857, when the whole country
Was . sheep walk, these farseeing
men laid the foundations of Anaheim.
Mr.. Geo. Hansen, of this city, can tell
all about the history of those pioneer
days, as he laid out the town and
otherwise assisted in the work.
Nor was the picturesque lost sight
Of in the new venture. As there are
mo richer, or more prosperous places
than Anaheim in Southern California
no there are few more prettily stu
ated. The mountains ring it round at
all points excepting towards the
south and all the great peaks appear
plain in sight for the various portions
Of the town.
Thirty years have passed since the
first settlers turned the soil at Ana.
helm. At the present time Messrs.
j. s. Bancroft and Eugene Day are
engaged in the preparation of direc.
tory Of the town of Anaheim. They
find about $500 souls in the town
proper, while there is much more
than twice that number in the coun
try around. Civilization has spread
of into North Anaheim, up towards
the Santa Ana Canon, along the Or
augethorpe country, and south tC
Anaheim Landing, placing tht
town in the center of a towr
territory nearly thirty miles
in diameter, all Of which is under
cultivation. The town has its hotel,
bank, churches, schools, stores and
all the concommitants of a town. Tc
